For the frequent attendants of top-tier AI conferences!

This repository includes templates and makefiles for:

• AAAI style
• ECAI style
• IJCAI style
• JAIR style

Several notes:

• It encourages the use of Inkskape to prepare svg images in img subdirectory, which are automatically compiled into pdf figures. (This is a recommended way, since pngs are bitmaps and doesnt print nicely)

• One thing that bugs me every time my paper is accepted to these conferences is how to prepare the camera-ready submission archive, which does not allow the use of \\input{} command. This repo also has a complete automated script for doing this, via make submission.

• make auto watches the source files and builds the pdf when they are updated. Requirements: inotify-tools package (it uses inotifywait for watching files and also sends messages via inotify notification popup window)

• It also checks for the paper length limit and overful/underful hboxes, very useful in the last-limit optimization for overlength papers.

• This template also supports JSAI, a local Japanese non-refereed confernece.
